Is there a new oscar host this year?

Since the Oscar organizers announced on the 11th of this month that they will "resume the host" this year, foreign media have speculated about who will become this challenging candidate. The American "Variety" commented on the 19th, "When Billy Christo hosted it that year, the audience reached 50 million. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences wants the new host to lead the Oscars out of the trough, so who is the most suitable candidate? ”

The Hollywood media's shortlist includes experienced comedians such as Steve Martin and Martin Short, as well as popular actresses such as Selena Gomez. According to Variety, Steve Martin, who has served as an Oscar host, has the most on-site experience, and he and his old partner Short will be the favorite of the old-fashioned academics; while Gomez will become a bridge for the academy to bring the new generation of audiences closer, and her super popularity can bring young traffic to the party.

According to the report, Okafina and Tiffany Hades are also good candidates, one Asian and one African, and also have screen masterpieces. In addition, comedian Tim Robinson and rap group "Lonely Island" are also recommended, but "Variety" also reminds Oscar organizers that if they plan to broadcast the awards ceremony live on Disney+ or Hulu platforms at the same time, the host needs to pay attention to avoid "inappropriate for children" segments.

The 94th Academy Awards will take place on March 27 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, following news that "Spider-Man" Tom Holland and action star "Rock" Johnson are expected to serve as hosts. Most media suggested that the Oscars take the "younger" and "diversified" route to change the impression of the "conservative" and "old" of the college.
